second trip to the range with the Tiger

[Aaron1100us]

Only went through 40 rounds. two targets @100 yards

1873
1874

Not bad, what ammo?

[Aaron1100us]

I still need to do some tweaking on the scope. Brown Bear 174 grain fmj non corrosive.

[RAY1946]

Nice groups! Those are about 30% smaller than I am getting with Hungarian light ball. I am planning on doing some ammo tweaking this winter..................

[El Laton Caliente]

Try some Privi...

[Schuetzenman]

Yes pretty good grouping for that style of weapon. See if you can find any Yugoslav 180 gr. copper jacketed surplus. Hard to come by but very good stuff.

[Aaron1100us]

Thanks. Will try to get better ammo. Am I expecting too much from this gun? I can shoot my 10/22 better at 100 yards easily. It does have a 16x scope on it. How do people shoot these guns accurately out to 300+ meters? Can you even see a target 300+ meters away wit a 4X scope?

[RAY1946]

Aaron; If you are getting that kind of grouping out of your rifle with the 4X scope, I think you would see a definate improvement by going to the POSP 8X unit. I think I would stay with nothing larger than what you are using(174 gr.). The 147 gr. Wolf ammo is suppose to be really good.........................

180 grain B&B if it is still out there...our SVD was used with an issue silencer to disrupt the source of sound, etc., and consider, these rifles are good but nowhere as good as an M-14 with an ART scope.

I was under the impression that the Tigers liked the lighter 154 grn stuff better. At least mine does. Anyone know the twist rate of a Tiger (or are you going to make find it myself..lol)

Thanx nitewatcher-- this brings up an entirely new subject- what ammo do most of you Tiger/SVD owners use and what have you found to be most accurate.
